Incredibly, just a few weeks after laughably claiming Muslims discovered America 300 years before anyone else, he has now declared "Women are not equal" - at a women's conference no less. Yet these words reveal the fantastical beliefs and goals of Turkish premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Years ago, when Turkey Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was the mayor of Istanbul, he gave a fiery speech to a crowd of followers where he proclaimed that "Democracy is merely a train that we ride until we reach our goal. Mosques are our military barracks, minarets are our spears, and domes are our helmets." When these words landed him in prison, he most likely realized that there are lines which should not be crossed in a secular state. It seemed like he had learned his lesson, especially in light of what happened at the time to the powerful military establishment of the Virtue Party (later re-established as the Happiness Party*) which was led by Islamic Prime Minister Erbakan. As many Islamists currently do, Erdogan went on to destroy secularism by pretending to embrace it, and to undermine democracy by actively participating in the democratic process. Despite a successful and stable rule after having "tamed" Turkish state institutions in his party's favor, Erdogan was still obsessed with his most cherished dream: to become the Caliph of all Muslims, under the umbrella of the Muslim Brotherhood rather than the Ottoman Empire. Thus, he sought the help of Ahmad Dawood Oglu - a personal friend, who is both an academician and a Muslim Brotherhood adherent - to devise a road map for an Islamic caliphate. The main aspects of this plan can be deduced through a careful observation of Erdogan's conduct and his party's actions, as follows: First: to manage relations with neighboring countries based on a zero-conflict strategy, which was proposed by Ahmad Dawood Oglu. This strategy aims to promote friendly relations and build trust between neighbor States, as a necessary first step to achieve dominance over the region. Thus, the image of a friendly, non-antagonistic Turkey was cultivated by eliminating any conflicts with its neighbors, hence the term "zero-conflict." Indeed, Erdogan seemingly took on the role of peacekeeper, seeking to achieve constructive cooperation with all of Turkey's neighbors. Think Turkey's role in Syria and you will begin to get the picture. Overtly it attempts to appear peaceful, even appealing to NATO for extra defensive measures, yet so many rebels are under Turkey's influence after years of fighting, the method of achieving 'dominance over the region' becomes clear. Syrians are not there to be helped, assisted, cared for. They are to be controlled, in the long term. Second: to be perceived in the Western World as one that possesses a magical formula to transform militant Islam into democratic Islam, which is particularly important in the aftermath of September 11, the current Islamic Civil War and the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. This formula is presented to the West as a means capable of attracting and containing political and Jihadist Islam movements, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, within a peaceful democratic process. In its eagerness to contain these movements, the United States rushed to embrace Erdogan's proposition, to a point where Washington started referring to Erdogan and his Party as a role model and pioneer that managed to pull off a miracle that Muslims have failed to achieve for 1400 years. Third: to achieve an economic boom as a means to establish and strengthen power and even help in dismantling the structures of the old State in favor of the new model, with the blessing and support of the Western World. Erdogan followed two approaches to achieve this economic boom: first, by encouraging and promoting Western investments in Turkey to help in the success of this model; second, by working to increase the volume of Turkish exports to Islamic countries once all conflicts were eliminated, as well as to attract Islamic and Arab investments to Turkey. Though the resulting economic boom was more of a bubble that can burst at any moment it still did its part in consolidating Erdogan's power. Fourth: to implement dominance and "brotherhoodization" strategies. With the US and Western World's continued involvement, these strategies will eventually bring the entire region under Islamist control, and particularly a Muslim Brotherhood rule, which will pave the way for Erdogan to finally live out his dream of becoming a Caliph of a Sunni dominated, Shia persecuted re-hashed Ottoman Empire. However, Erdogan's temper, arrogance and mad scrambling to achieve his dream worked against him, revealing the truth about the man and his designs, as his plan started to unravel bit by bit. The Taksim Square redevelopment project provided another clue. Erdogan had allied himself to a number of corrupt businessmen, including his son-in-law who owned the contracting company managing the project. The public fury against him was stunning, and being a conspiracy theorist, he believed that he was the victim of an international conspiracy designed to depose him. The conflict with his own people revealed an ugly and tyrannical side of Erdogan. Suffice it to say that Turkey has currently the largest rate of imprisoned reporters globally. However, the major eye-opener was the so called Arab Spring, or what should by rights be called the Muslim Brotherhood Spring. Now known as the Islamic Civil War. Erdogan was part of the international powers that formed an alliance to strike Libya. When Libya fell, followed by Tunisia and Egypt falling into the hands of Islamists, he rushed to pay these countries a visit, with Intelligence agents in tow, presenting himself as a major player and supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood's rule. Erdogan's obsession reached new heights, even though he tried to pretend otherwise while visiting Cairo, making a show of rebuking the Muslim Brothers in Egypt for rushing into proclaiming their vision of an Islamic caliphate while the region was not yet amenable to the idea. However, he left all pretense and reason behind when it became obvious that Syria was not easily succumbing to the Muslim Brotherhood. He turned Turkey's borders with Syria into an assembly of hardened radicals brought in from all over the world, equipped with weapons and funds and aiming to bring Bashar Al-Assad down. Finally, the collapse of the Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt seemed to have pushed him over the edge. Faced with the loss of his long-held dream, he became semi-hysterical, ranting, raving and throwing accusations right and left. The Arabs have ever been suspicious of Erdogan's attempts to establish closer relations. There were reservations about his ambitious agenda and the role he played in the Arab Spring. These reservations were particularly justified when, in the course of Davos Forum, he told an Arab president during a special meeting that, "western democracy is akin to a bus station but the final destination is the Islamic caliphate." Later, the facade totally crumbled and his ugly side was fully revealed after the June 30th revolution in Egypt. Erdogan's model has failed regionally and internationally on both political and religious levels. Eventually, he will be exposed as an individual who ruthlessly pursues his Ottoman and Muslim Brotherhood-inspired dreams at any cost, even if the people of the region will inevitably be the ones to pay the ultimate price. And so it brings us to the present. Erdogan's grasp on reality has begun to fail. He has blamed everything except Allah himself for his own delusional failures, and today he went full retard. Addressing a crowd full of women, he brazenly stated "You cannot put women and men on an equal footing, it is against nature." Mr Erdogan also told the Istanbul meeting that justice was the solution to most of the world's issues - including racism, anti-Semitism, and "women's problems" - Yes, Mr Erdogan seems to have forgotten the word sexism, perhaps rather conveniently as he mistakenly believes some 30m Turkish women will agree with. As the murmurs of discontent continue to grow, we can rest assured that Erdogan has absolutely no idea he has said or done, anything wrong at all.
